Abstract
DR. NEUMAYER has recently been in London, looking after apparatus, and making arrangements, for the proposed Austrian expedition preparatory to the one to the Southern Seas for the purpose of observing the Transit of Venus in 1874. The object is one in which every English man of science will feel a warm interest. The lethargy of our own Government has been described by German astronomers and naturalists by the expressive but not complimentary term “Philistinism.”
